Now that you’ve generated your animated Bible video and added a voiceover, it’s time to bring everything together in the editing phase. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to edit your video using CapCut, one of the most powerful and beginner-friendly video editors available today.

This process will help you turn your AI-generated visuals into a polished, scroll-stopping final product — ready to upload to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels.

🧰 Step 1: Import Your Assets Into CapCut

Open CapCut, and in the top-left corner:

Click “Media” to import:
- Your dynamic video clips (from HailuoAI, Runway, or MidJourney)
- Your voiceover file (from ElevenLabs or other text-to-speech tools)
Click “Add to Track” to place both into your editing timeline.

🗂️ Step 2: Understand CapCut’s Tool Panel

You’ll find CapCut’s tools arranged in the top-left toolbar in this order:

Media
Audio
Text
Stickers
Effects
Transitions
Captions
Filters
Adjust

These tools are what you’ll use to enhance your video step by step.

✂️ Step 3: Match Voiceover With Video

Match each animated clip with its corresponding line of voiceover. Usually, the animation is longer than the voiceover — so you can:

Speed up the video slightly
Or trim it to match the voiceover

🔄 Pro Tip: Do this through the entire timeline before moving to the next steps. This keeps your story tight and engaging.

📱 Step 4: Set the Correct Aspect Ratio (Important for TikTok)

Set your project to 9:16 — the vertical video format for TikTok and Reels.
This ensures the video fills the screen and performs well on mobile devices.

🎯 Step 5: Open Strong – Use Eye-Catching Visuals First

If you’ve created multiple animated versions, pick the most dramatic or visually striking clip as your opening shot. This grabs attention in the first few seconds — which is critical for retention.

🌌 Step 6: Add Visual Effects (Optional but Powerful)

To enhance your storytelling:

Navigate to the “Effects” section
Browse categories or use the search bar
Apply selective effects — not every scene needs them

📌 Example: For a horror-themed or prophecy-focused video, try “Dark Glitch” from the Glitch category to create a suspenseful atmosphere.

🔊 Step 7: Add Sound Effects (SFX)

Go to the Audio tab and add sound effects that match the visuals:

Thunder
Fire
Trumpets
Footsteps
Angelic or demonic sounds

📣 Just remember: don’t let the sound effects overpower the voiceover. Keep them subtle and complementary.

🔁 Step 8: Add Transitions Between Clips

Use transitions from the “Movement” category to keep your video flowing naturally and dynamically.

Some solid choices include:

Zoom
Slide
Rotate
Cross-dissolve

Transitions help avoid awkward jumps between clips and enhance storytelling rhythm.

🎵 Step 9: Add Background Music (BGM)

This is the final audio layer. But before you choose a song, here’s what to know:

🎼 Music Selection Tips:

Search for terms like:
- “Epic cinematic” for prophecy/judgment videos
- “Emotional piano” for comforting or redemptive stories
Match the tone of your Bible story — don’t use overly dramatic music for calm narratives.
